Tremont Consolidated School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (98.31%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 59th out of 228 schools in 2020-2021 (4-star rating) to 235th out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 (1-star rating). Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.8% in 2020-2021 to 67.8% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.05% in 2020-2021 to 39.45% in 2021-2022, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 6.2 students per teacher, which is lower than the surrounding schools.

The inconsistent academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and lack of racial diversity at Tremont Consolidated School suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement. Addressing the underlying causes of absenteeism and collaborating with higher-performing nearby schools, such as Lamoine Consolidated School and Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary School, could provide valuable insights and resources to help the school improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the local community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
